Psalms 74, 79, 80, 89

74 - A prayer to God for Zion, and the destruction that had occurred to the Lord’s temple. A prayer for God to remember His people, and deliver them from their adversaries.

79 - Like chapter 74, a prayer for God to remember His people and be merciful, who have experienced His wrath at the hand of their enemies, destroyed the temple, and left Jerusalem in ruins.

80 - A prayer for God to extend His mercy to Israel, who has suffered His discipline, asking Him as their Shepherd to hear and act on their condition.

89 - This is a prophetic psalm penned by someone named Ethan, although nothing is known about him. This psalm is written as a dialogue, with the psalmist speaking praises to God, and then God responding. The Lord promises to remain faithful to His promises to David, even though He brings discipline against his descendants for a time. His promise to David will be ultimately fulfilled when his descendant and Lord, Jesus Christ, sits on His throne forever.
